Re: A simple prayer
Dear brother, it is difficult being a Christian in todays world. It has never been easy as far as I can remember history.
As far as past and even present behavior, remember a Roman soldier named Paul? Anyway, his job was to go out and kill as many Christians as possible. He did this with great gusto! Did God send him to hell, or even kill him? No, Jesus made him one of His most trusted apostles. I bet around the campfire some nights, Paul would slip back after having a bit too much wine and say some not too complimentary words about Christians (in Jesus presence). Did Jesus cut him off, NO!!! I don't think you have anything to worry about, do your best, ask forgiveness (get a Jesus T-shirt)  ,
and try to do what He asks of you!
I pray our Lord pours out His richest blessings upon you, in Jesus name, Amen.
Love in Jesus Christ
bro Gary

But now that I've turned Christian I find it difficult to stop being that person around them, I know I no longer have to fit expectations of other people, but instead should strive to fit God's expectations. But when your still in the class with them, and they still act and speak in a way that you used to, it's hard not to get caught up in it sometimes, you know? Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely not as bad as I was, but I still feel I overstep the line. I come under conviction of the holy spirit for these things but it's like the words keep pouring out. And I feel so filthy cause it's like I'm leading a double life, cause out of college I'm not like that at all. Thank you in advance, Godbless.
